That Java one didn't sound like a bug so much as a disagreement about what the proper response to a user-space application accessing unmapped memory should be.
It sounds like Java was using undefined platform-specific behavior (undefined as in, not specified in a document saying that is the intentional behavior) - unless it's common for user-space apps to treat invalid memory accesses as recoverable?
To me it sounds like a security issue - if an app can just start trying to access memory, it can get side-channel information if it can recover instead of getting killed.
Inconvenient? Sure. Annoying because release notes never contain that kind of detail? Absolutely. Bug? Depends on if the change was intentional or not.
That said - the deletion of information on iCloud absolutely sounds like a severe bug, and I don't understand why processes weren't followed to check before it was released. It's just sad - where's the engineering diligence?
